3D Modeling

The Edit Subdivision tool's 3D dragger can be moved from its default position relative to the selected cage mesh entity.

Using the Re-position mode does not affect which 3D dragger appears in the drawing area.

To reposition the 3D dragger:

Click the tool and mode.

Alternatively, double-click the subdivision object with the Selection tool to select the object and automatically activate the Edit Subdivision tool.

Click Translate and Rotate mode or Scale mode and the appropriate alignment mode, and then click the cage mesh entity to be transformed.

With the 3D dragger present in the drawing area, click Re-position mode.

Click the 3D dragger and move the mouse to reposition it. Click again to place the 3D dragger.

The 3D dragger repositions differently depending on which part of the dragger is clicked; click the appropriate linear, planar, or rotational control to effect the desired move. The selected control displays in yellow during the operation.
